Class B

If Omaha Skutt’s dominance in the Class B state tournament is going to continue, it will be because of quality, not quantity.

The top-ranked SkyHawks, winners of 20 of the past 21 state championships, qualified five for state in a fourth-place finish at the District B-1 tournament at Platteview.

Zach Ourada (106), Caleb Lazure (126), Nick Stoltenberg (138) and Eli Jansen (182) won district titles. Four Skutt wrestlers, including third-ranked 132-pound Joey Orsi, lost in the consolation semifinal round where a win would have meant a trip to state.

Fifth-ranked Blair, which won the Class B state dual tournament a week earlier, was the team champion, edging No. 6 Columbus Lakeview by 3 1⁄2 points.

Class C

The top two teams in Class C combined for 10 of the 14 champions at the District C-4 tournament in Broken Bow.

Second-ranked Broken Bow and No. 1 Valentine each had five winners, qualifying eight and nine, respectively, for state. Valentine won the team title 213-203 1⁄2.

Fifth-ranked Battle Creek qualified eight in winning C-1. Seven of Class C No. 3 David City’s nine qualifiers won titles as the Scouts won the C-2 tournament at Boone Central. Fourth-ranked David City Aquinas was the other team champion, qualifying 11 in a C-3 title effort.
